AI HR Helpdesk Agent

Use cases
FAQ
How does the agent know company HR policies?
We ingest your HR handbook, policy documents, and HRIS data during setup. The agent references these sources to answer questions and escalates unknown scenarios to your HR team.
Can it handle leave request approvals?
Yes. The agent validates eligibility, checks calendar conflicts, and submits requests to your workflow system. Managers review in their usual approval tool. Complex cases (sabbaticals, unpaid leave) escalate to HR.
What happens if the agent doesn't know the answer?
It logs the question with context and assigns it to your HR team. You can review these gaps to expand the knowledge base or adjust training over time.
Does it work with existing HRIS systems?
Yes. We integrate with Workday, BambooHR, ADP, and custom systems via API. Real-time data pulls ensure answers are current and accurate.
